My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,086 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:48 Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils his lovely face
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in ev'ry high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. (Refrain)
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way
he then is all my hope and stay. (Refrain)
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found,
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. (Refrain)

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman (1624?-1683) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:18-35 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
salvation to bestow,
but all made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know;
but O my friend,
my friend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend.
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what has my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine!
This is my friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Master, No Offering Costly and Sweet
Author: Edwin P. Parker Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:37-38 First Line: Master, no offering Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at Thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
2 Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
3 Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears,
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footsteps led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide;
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Topics: Commitment; Service; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Used With Tune: LOVE'S OFERING

Master, Speak
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Appears in 60 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:40 First Line: Master, speak, Thy servant heareth Lyrics: 1 Master, speak! Thy servant heareth,
Waiting for Thy gracious word,
Longing for Thy voice that cheereth;
Master! let it now be heard.
I am list'ning, Lord, for Thee:
What hast Thou to say to me?
O my Master, speak to me.
2 Often thro' my heart is pealing
Many another voice than Thine,
Many an unwilled echo stealing
From the walls of this Thy shrine;
Let Thy longed for accents fall;
Master, speak, and silence all.
O my Master, speak to me.
3 Master, speak, I do not doubt Thee,
Tho' so tearfully I plead;
Saviour, Shepherd, O without Thee
Life would be a blank indeed;
But I long for fuller light,
Deeper love and clearer sight.
O my Master, speak to me. Used With Tune: [Master, speak, Thy servant heareth]
